Recent Projects Awards 06 Firstly, I want to thank our board members, for their support and guidance; and employees for their
commitment and dedication to the company, which has resulted in yet another successful year for NPCC.
Facts & Figures 10 Last year we developed our new strategy and we have been working on growing our engineering and
offshore capabilities, exploring new sectors like deep water and renewables, building our capabilities in
NPCC & Saudi Aramco 12 onshore sector, and growing our market share in our core markets.
We are part of Long Term Agreement (LTA) with Saudi Aramco and this has kept us busy. So far we have
My Offshore Journey 14 won 10 projects from Saudi Aramco, and we are looking at setting up a fabrication yard in KSA. In addition,
we have had a healthy stream of work from ADNOC, we recently won Bu Haseer Project and are executing
ANEWA 16 Super Complex for ADNOC Offshore at Umm Lulu 2, a huge project of which we are immensely proud to be
part of. We have a healthy share in the Indian market too and these projects have helped us in maintaining
our position.

Another area we are focusing on is Innovation. When you look at the many different innovation solutions

Health, Safety & Environment 34 We are also working on increasing our Emiratisation levels. Today, we have 308 Emirati employees, as we
had set a target in 2017 of doubling this number to 550 by 2021. Of course, for this to succeed, we need
to have the right career development programmes. We need to have all the management and leadership

involved in these plans.
Corporate Social Responsibility 48 We are working on improving our internal communications using Social Media, CEO Messages, Town Hall
Meetings, and even this newsletter. We are also introducing more activities for our employees, like our

modifications to Berri Capping Structure and so far we have executed more than
35 projects.
The relationship was solidified in 2016 when NPCC signed a Long Term Agreement
(LTA).
The LTA was signed in 2016 and so far we have won 10 projects from Saudi Aramco.
Under the terms of the LTA, NPCC is able to bid for a number of jobs and there are
7 on hand at the moment. NPCC is bidding on the Marjan redevelopment project,
a massive 7 billion US Dollar redevelopment sub-divided into 4 packages.
When working with Saudi Aramco under the terms of the LTA, there are certain
challenges. One of these is meeting Saudization requirements (employing local
talent – currently targeting 19% of the work-force) and the second is meeting the
«In-Kingdom Total Value Add (IKTVA) Program», which is designed to make sure
that all works contain local content.
